The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

"Pilot" is the pilot episode of the British comedy series Tracey Breaks the News, starring Tracey Ullman. The series was commissioned by the BBC for BBC One. It was thematically inspired by the aftermath of the 2017 United Kingdom general election, as well as the one-year anniversary of the Brexit referendum, and was recorded and aired shortly thereafter. The broadcast is a reformatted version of Tracey Ullman's Show. Tracey Breaks the News is the second television special Ullman has produced for British television, her first since 1993's Tracey Ullman: A Class Act, and her fifth overall. The episode aired on 23 June 2017. The success of the pilot led to a full series commission of Tracey Breaks the News. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
